The Balyasny Philosophy
We’re entrepreneurs who believe bureaucracy and analysis/paralysis kills organizations. We identify a problem, come up with a solution, and get after it.
We are constantly seeking to learn and evolve. We value humility and always question our assumptions.
Change is constant and inevitable, so we embrace it. We have the perseverance and flexibility to weather hard times and accept that good times are fleeting.
We partner internally and externally to form mutually beneficial relationships, create opportunity, and close gaps between strategies, sectors, and departments.
Great ideas come from individuals. Scaling breakthroughs comes from top teams.
Our Investment, Risk, Technology, and Business Infrastructure Teams work as one to achieve a shared goal: uncorrelated returns.
Our aim is to recruit and develop world-class talent and empower their performance.
